I think you need to make an appointment with a funny farm official, Bill. This one is really out there.

Perhaps they could be shamed enough to re-name their mascot the Arkansas State Kuhns :shock: :oops:

Bill…

Bill?
Yes. Bill is the name I use when I go completely brain dead. I would make the excuse that it was really late, however...it wasn't really late. Who knows why I used the name Bill. I certainly don't. Sorry.

Personally, I think it suits him. I think I'll start calling him "Bill".

I was thinking more along the lines of William "Bill for Short" Sackter…

("Bill" is a great story and a masterful performance and I was just being funny and not actually making fun of the real Mr. Sackter.)
I agree that "Bill" was a great movie. Mickey Rooney did such a great job showing the humanity of Bill while not sugarcoating the problems that Bill actually had...

I had an uncle that I wish could have been a situation like Bill was. But, they didn't know about that sort of thing then.....
